COVER

OPINION Paris Agreement: Government should follow industry, not the other way around.

ou’ve probably heard some of these stats before: The United States is the number-two polluter on the planet according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. The top three biggest sources of pollution, according to the Yale Journal of Industrial Ecology: Transportation (especially cars and planes), food production (especially meat and dairy), and energy for heating, cooling and running household appliances. These are all industries that are regulated in some form or another. There’s a common pattern when it comes to regulations and commerce. A commercial entity will do something that seems dodgy. Then, a whistleblower comes in and tells someone about it. If enough people raise a red flag, the government comes in to regulate that entity in the name of the public good. A corporation may not be perfectly content with all of this, but it seems that in the case of utility companies, they’re at least resigned to the fact that regulation is part of their existence. So when the pattern is interrupted or reveresed, it’s worth taking note. Take the case of Pacific Power. It is on its way to going coal-free, due to Oregon’s “coalto-clean” law. According to the state’s office of Energy and Climate Change, this law will eliminate “out-of-state coal-fired electricity for good by 2030 while increasing renewable energy to 50 percent by 2040. In addition, Oregon will close the last remaining coal plant in the state 20 years early in 2020.” In this state, the people—through their government—demanded cleaner energy and industry followed. We can take solace in the state’s commitment, but that solace doesn’t extend to the actions of the federal executive branch. Last week the President announced that the United States would be pulling out of the Paris Agreement. The accord, signed by nearly every country on the planet, is an effort to reduce emissions and combat climate change. It is a landmark piece of worldwide cooperation in an effort to control our environmental fate. Local utilities, already on board with the coal-to-clean transition, aren’t following the federal government on this one. Pacific Power is a perfect example. Pacific Power’s Senior Vice President Scott Bolton had this to say following that announcement: “The President’s decision doesn’t change

Pacific Power’s strategy—we will continue to focus on delivering reliable, affordable, safe and clean energy to our customers and reducing our carbon footprint. That is what our customers want, and we will work hard to provide it. "We are putting that commitment into action with our recently announced Energy Vision 2020 that will invest $3.5 billion in new renewable energy by 2020. This new investment is part of our long-term energy plan to expand our investments in clean energy that will both reduce our emissions and our longterm costs. We’ve been on the road to a cleaner energy future for more than a decade and we’re not changing course. We know that investing in renewable energy provides many economic benefits, can reduce costs, lower emissions and offer greater energy independence.” For many people, government regulation is a way to keep industry in check and to protect the public. In the modern national political landscape, however, regulation is a four-letter word. Those who decry the evils of regulation often say it’s holding back the marketplace that consumers are demanding something that those regulations won’t allow. Yet, to see one of the largest utility providers say, “That is what our customers want,” and still, to see our administration go in the opposite direction from even the utility companies, is a part of our bizarre political landscape. As a consumer, however, you still have a choice to further support renewable power in your community. Pacific Power is one of many utilities that have allowed customers to invest in renewable energy, through its Blue Sky program. While the program doesn’t come with the promise that the power you buy will actually come from renewable sources, the money consumers invest in Blue Sky is used to purchase renewable energy certificates. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, “RECs are issued when one megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity is generated and delivered to the electricity grid from a renewable energy resource.” When power companies, who have the largest upside to avoid change, see the value of renewable energy and of reducing their carbon footprint, it’s disheartening to see government leadership move in the opposite direction. But Oregonians can still vote with their pocket books and help utilities stay green. SW

OPINION Letters

TRUMP’S WITHDRAWAL FROM PARIS AGREEMENT

Consider this about trees: Trees are wonderful, they are indeed beautiful. They offer cooling shade and are home to many creatures. Among other things they produce much needed oxygen. However, trees that grow too large in town often damage sewer and water pipes with their root systems. They can also cause foundations to crack, sidewalks to shift, garage floors to crack, doors and windows to stick or jam. Large tree roots cause streets to develop bumps and cracks, eventually becoming potholes. In my neighborhood, the 50 to 90-year-old Ponderosa pines do all this damage to houses and infrastructure, and then if that were not enough, all too often they snap off or blow completely down in strong windstorms. In the past 15 years, I’ve counted nearly 30 of these remarkably beautiful trees that have come down in the ever-stronger windstorms. Fortunately, only a half dozen of them have struck houses, garages or cars, and I’ve been told a couple of people have died over the last 25 to 30 years here in Bend as these giant trees have cut their homes in half. When my neighborhood was built these trees were seemingly harmless beauties of only 35- 40 years old, but then add 50 years of growth at one foot per year and we have 85 to 95 foot tall Ponderosas with root systems that cause damage in many ways. Yes, I love trees, but only when they are properly controlled and cared for. I agree with a previous letter writer: don’t clear cut lots, but carefully consider which trees are a potential hazard to safety and infrastructure. — W.R. Friday

Our president is a terrorist. His ruthless disregard for the environment in the interest of some bogus economic gains is arguably the worst of his many horrible actions so far. Pulling out of the Paris Accord amounts to nothing less than terrorism. — Christie McCormick, via bendsource.com

IN RESPONSE TO, LETTER OF THE WEEK: THE WHITEWATER PARK (5/31) I cannot believe you gave “letter of the week” to the response of my criticism of the whitewater park. First of all, my letter talked about the inequitable amount of money going to a small group of river-users as opposed to the majority of river users. The exact opposite of the me, me, me, attitude referred to in the response letter. Sitting on a bench, watching kayakers eat shit, really, what were you thinking? You rank right up there with the alternative facts media, because no one would be able to tell what my letter was about by reading the response. In fact, quite the opposite and by printing that particular response you have taken a position. I am very disappointed in you Source. — Helen Carter

Last week Donald Trump withdrew the United States' support and leadership in the Paris Climate Accords, demonstrating that he prefers buggy whips to automobiles. There is overwhelming agreement by scientists and most of the world’s leaders that climate change is real and is not a “hoax” as Trump asserts. The consequence of doing nothing is catastrophic for the planet and for all people. Rising sea levels will drown cities which will cost billions of dollars to move or protect. A warming climate will allow tropical diseases to spread northward, resulting in growing health costs. Unpredictable weather will create more famines and spur more mass migrations. This, in turn, will spur more wars and other global tensions. Trump’s decision to oppose climate agreements to protect the coal industry is like trying to protect buggy whip makers in the age of the automobile. Coal as a fuel source is declining. California, alone, has more than 10 times the jobs in the solar industry as entire employment in the coal industry across the nation. Solar is the future. Coal is the past. That is why the CEOs of many of America’s largest corporations support the Paris Accords, even Exxonmobil recognizes that the future is not with fossil fuels and the United States’ economic future is increasingly dependent on renewable energy. And it’s not just in the U.S. that a shift in energy sources is occurring. China announced it is canceling more than 100 coal-fired generation plants because they just don’t make economic sense anymore and increasingly they are becoming the global leader in renewable energy. India has set a target of meeting 40 percent of its energy needs by 2030 from solar. These countries are turning away from coal for practical reasons—solar is increasingly less expensive than coal—even without calculating the environmental costs of coal mining and burning. Declining cost of renewable energy such as wind and solar, as well as lower natural gas price, is driving the coal industry’s decline, not international agreements like the Paris Climate Accords. The market is speaking loudly, but Trump is not listening. By withdrawing he has alienated our allies in the developing world, which will only make future negotiations on other critical issues like trade and military

alliances more difficult. But there are consequences beyond the economic, ecological and political, there are ethical reasons for remaining in the Paris Agreement. The U.S. is the second largest polluter on the planet. Our per capita use of energy exceeds all other countries. While our country is home to 5 percent of the global population, we use 25 percent of all energy. We Americans release on a per capita basis twice as much CO2 as China and eight times more than India. And we, more than any other country, have contributed to the current crisis because we have been the number one polluter for decades. We have a responsibility and obligation to assist the rest of the world in their efforts to reduce our fossil fuel burning and we owe it to poorer countries to assist them in developing alternatives to fossil fuels so they can reduce global poverty. Lest we forget, we owe to the people and communities in this country whose jobs and livelihood are dependent on fossil fuels to help them develop alternatives to digging up coal or drilling for oil. Telling them delusional “fake facts” that the world is going to continue to rely on fossil fuels will not help them make this transition. Trump’s policies in many areas are backward looking, not forward thinking. We don’t need buggy whips anymore, and it’s time for Trump to recognize the future does not belong to the fossil fuel industry. — George Wuerthner

Transgender Equality Bill Becomes Oregon Law Last Wednesday, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown signed Oregon’s first bill aimed exclusively at supporting transgender Oregonians. According to the governor’s office, the transgender equity bill, HB 2673A, makes it a “safer, faster and more private process” for transgender people to update their name and gender on an Oregon birth certificate. The Oregon Equality Act, passed in 2007, provides comprehensive non-discrimination protections for Oregonians based on their gender identity and sexual orientation—but HB 2673A is the first bill specifically supporting transgender people in Oregon. California is the only other state to offer transgender people this type of option for changing their birth certificates. The bill becomes law Jan. 1, 2018.

Housing Legislation Moves Forward—with a Big Amendment The state House bill aimed at providing some relief for Oregon renters has moved out of committee in the state Senate, but with a major change from its original form. The Senate Committee on Human Services voted to move HB 2004A onto the full Senate May 31. In addition to requiring landlords to cover the moving costs of tenants who are evicted through no fault of their own, the original version of the bill would have also opened the door for local governments to allow implementation of rent stabilization measures, something currently prohibited by Oregon law. That rent-control provision was removed from the current version of the bill. In the wake of the committee vote, the Community Alliance of Tenants, a statewide tenants organization formed in 1996, issued this statement via its Policy and Organizing Director Pam Phan: “Property managers and rent-gouging landlords will continue to be able to increase—or even double—rents,” Phan said. “Our coalition is deeply disappointed that lawmakers failed to recognize the needs of their constituents, leaving vulnerable Oregonians who are struggling and unable to pay these increases to be displaced from their communities.” According to the Alliance, 40 percent of Oregonians are renters. The Oregon Association of Realtors put a call to action on its website following the committee vote, saying the bill still contains “a variety of provisions that are problematic for landlords and real estate investors statewide.” HB2004 still needs the approval of the full Senate—and the governor’s signature—to become law.

Tower Tussle

A cell tower planned for Trinity Episcopal Church ignites debate on the risks of radiation near a school By Magdalena Bokowa

— AMITY CREEK PARENT, SHAWNDI STAHL

ommunity members at Amity Creek Magnet School are opposing a proposed Verizon cell phone tower slated for construction at a downtown Bend church. Leaders at Trinity Episcopal Church will decide this month whether to let the wireless provider mount a faux bell tower in order to boost its 4G service to 5G. Critics, namely parents and neighbors near the church, say towers such as those can have negative health impacts, pointing to recent studies showing correlations between rare brain cancers and tumors.

phones, cell towers have increasingly crept into residential communities to meet demand. The towers, at times freestanding and other times mounted onto existing structures, are virtually everywhere. Sometimes they’re camouflaged; as is the case with a cell tower on top of the building at 1135 NW Galveston Ave., owned by Galveston Properties, LLC. That one, constructed in 2011, is disguised as a faux chimney. Towers are usually 50-200 feet high, holding electronic equipment and antennas which receive and transmit radiofrequency (RF) signals. The International Agency for Research on Cancer, funded by the World Health Organization, classified RF radiation in 2011 as a possible human carcinogen. Parents of the 180+ students at Amity Creek Magnet School, next to the church, are worried about the risk of that carcinogen. Feeling Helpless

This map, compiled with City of Bend data, shows the locations of cell phone towers and antennas within Bend, which transmit various types of electromagnetic waves, including RF waves. Towers in blue are approved, pending locations.

Opponents of the tower also point to stricter legislation in European countries, which limit cell towers next to schools. Research into the potential health effects of towers is still ongoing, and more than a dozen cell towers are already hiding in plain sight throughout Bend. A Changing Electromagnetic Landscape According to the World Health Organization (WHO), people are exposed to 100-million times more electromagnetic radiation than their grandparents’ generations. With 95 percent of Americans now owning mobile

“I can do a lot things to protect my children — I can put a helmet on their head or feed them the healthiest food,” says Shawndi Stahl, a parent of two Amity Creek students, “but this is completely out of our hands and I feel hopeless that I can’t limit their exposure to something that later on could be potentially proven to cause cancer.” Stahl points to the lessons learned throughout history, namely the thought that lead, asbestos and even smoking were once considered non-harmful. Today, more than 30 studies have shown no correlations to cancers, while a handful of other studies show some direct dose–response relationships. Stahl says that very few human studies have focused specifically on cellular phone towers and cancer risk, noting that it is still very much an area of active research. At very high levels, RF waves can heat up body tissues, much like how a microwave heats up food. A 2016, $25-million federally-backed study showed links between rare brain and heart cancers and chronic exposure to the type of radiation emitted from cell phones and wireless devices. A 2004 study showed increased levels of rare brain and heart cancers in rats that were exposed to RF radiation for nine hours each day. Some European countries and municipalities such as Belgium and France have strict limits on electromagnetic waves, limiting the placement of Wi-Fi devices at schools. In some European districts, cell towers

must be 1,500 feet away from schools. The United States Federal Communications Commission says the amount of RF energy from towers at ground level is thousands of times less than the limits for safe exposure set by federal law. Still, critics point out that federal safety rules were put in place in 1996, when signals largely radiated from remote towers that were off limits to the public sphere. The FCC maintains that it would be highly unlikely to be exposed to RF levels in excess of these limits just by being near a cell phone tower, especially if antennas are mounted high above ground level and the signals are transmitted intermittently, rather than constantly. City of Bend code lays out the general framework for the locations of these towers. Aaron Henson, the City’s senior planner, says, “Regulations encourage cell service providers to locate new towers in commercial or industrial zones.” He notes that although city code discourages new cell towers in residential zones, “Federal law prohibits the City from completely banning them from residential zones… (and) ultimately, the cell service providers determine where they want to put new towers.” The tower on the building at 1135 Galveston, located in an area with both residential and commercial buildings, is also owned by Verizon. Jeff Walkup, who lives 200 feet away from Trinity, is spearheading discussions with the congregation. He says: “For all of us concerned, the important question we are asking (the church) is this technology 100 percent safe? Will the children be 100 percent safe and is the church 100 percent sure?” He continues, “Is the church fully aware of the considerable disagreement within the scientific literature as to the long-term health impacts of RF radiation?” Walkup, Stahl and other parents are petitioning the church to rethink letting Verizon place the tower at the church citing the unknown long-term health effects of non-ionizing radiation. A Financial Decision “This isn’t a get rich quick scheme,” says the Rev. Jed Holdorph of Trinity Episcopal. “Anytime you can increase revenue streams, you have to carefully consider them, whether they be private or nonprofit sector.” Holdorph is quick to point out the church is a registered 501(c) nonprofit, and although he would not offer specifics on how the Continued on page 11...

Van s r e f i L By Anne Pick

WWW.BENDSOURCE.COM / June 8, 2017 / BEND’S INDEPENDENT VOICE

Some see it as the ticket to freedom— whether that be freedom from high rents, freedom to roam, or otherwise. Here s what it s really like to live full-time in a van inBend.

n the past, the phrase “van life” brought to mind images of hippies with big sunglasses and flowy clothing, driving VW vans with smoke pluming out, headed toward the next peaceful protest. With the advent of Instagram and modern amenities such as solar panels, “van life” has definitely evolved. Some of the stunning photographs you see when clicking #vanlife on social media show the beautiful locales visited by those calling a Sprinter or conversion van home; others feature product placement by van lifers sponsored by national brands. In Bend, living in a van isn’t all about capturing the perfect photo and filtering it just right—though the area obviously has plenty of enviable, picturesque backdrops. For those choosing to live in a 90 squarefoot mobile space, they all seem to have one driving force in common: freedom. Financial freedom, the freedom of mobility, freedom from high rents. “Freedom, for sure is the number one thing,” Jeff, who goes by the last name, Pine, says. “You’re always moving so it’s not like you’re going back to the same place. You don’t go out for the day and return somewhere. You’re always moving forward. In terms as freedom, it’s about as free as you could be.” Pine, a Bend native, started living out of his van full time about three and a half years ago, buying a Ford E150 that used to be an old wheelchair van. To get the van ready to live in, he installed recycled cotton insulation, put in a bed and storage space and installed an isolator that charges two six-volt batteries. The engine charges the batteries, stores it and converts it to usable energy. The batteries provide enough power for a small fridge and whatever he needs to charge. Pine considers his van to essentially be a garage with a loft above it. He has surfboards, a mountain bike and a skateboard in there, allowing him to pursue recreation wherever he parks. For Bend native Tosch Roy, freedom drew him to van life as well, but more on the financial side of the spectrum. Roy started a Bend-based company call Free Range Equipment, manufacturing

sport-specific backpacks for mountain adventures. He remembers first considering the possibility of van life after attending a Pub Talk by Meg Chun, co-owner of Kialoa, a Bend-based company that manufactures water sport paddles. “The big thing she was pushing for was to lower your personal overhead,” Roy says. “I moved into a van that summer. The reason I did it was for the financial freedom. Living costs in Bend are pretty high, so to be able to live here, I guess this was the only way that I could realistically start a business in Bend. This has always been home for me. I grew up here and I love it.” Roy started his foray into van life with a Volkswagen Vanagon two summers ago. He picked up an auxiliary battery, a solar panel and an inverter, and

placed a deicer in the water tank. Roy recently added a heater that runs while the van is off. He’s getting ready to sell the Vanagon. Roy bought and lived in a Sprinter last summer — a popular choice for vans these days. Right now, it’s pretty bare bones, with a bed, a cooler and a file cabinet he uses as a kitchen. “Being able to stand up inside, it is kind of a big deal,” Roy says of the switch to a Sprinter. “That to me sort of turned it from a livable space into a home. It’s definitely got a lot more space. It moves faster. Besides that, I could go with either one.” Alder Long, a transplant from California, moved to Bend for school. When his lease came to an end in March, he decided to forego the manic Craigslist search for a new apartment and try living in a van— an idea he’d always toyed with.

Every space is put to good use inside Jeff Pine's home on wheels, which makes for a cozier spot in which to hang out.

the benefits to van life, but depending on lifestyle, the true savings fluctuate. None of them have a rent payment, but all admit to eating out more. They all have Coleman camp stoves, but the convenience of eating out wins out most often. “I’ve been bad about cooking,” Pine says. He splits his time between Bend and Santa Cruz, Calif., traveling south in the winter months. “When I’m down south and surfing in cold water, I need a lot of food. $30 a day is budget, sometimes less, sometimes I go way more. If you start thinking about it, my food budget is $1,000 a month. That’s pretty ridiculous.”

«In the rain, I just embrace it, I deal with it, I kind of enjoy it. I appreciate it and appreciate the sunshine when it comes back out.”

THE BUSINESS OF VAN LIFE Ian Beveridge and Curtiss Feltner started a Bend company called The Van Guys three years ago, specializing in van conversions. The two have seen an increase in van life, both on a living and camping scale. “I think it’s gained more traction in the last maybe five or six years,” Beveridge says. “We got into it because we saw a need for people who wanted vans to camp and travel that weren’t so expensive. Every year since we opened it’s grown exponentially. It’s just amazing how many people want to travel and explore and have more versatility, he adds.” “Just looking around Bend I’ve seen so many new vans in town,” Feltner says. “I don’t know if it’s people in town that are building them by themselves, or if it’s people moving to Bend in their van because they have nowhere to live. It’s slowly becoming a van Mecca, it seems.” Feltner left The Van Guys in the spring after breaking his back snowboarding, but Beveridge continues on in a new van venture. Beveridge recently partnered with William Myers to create the new company, Action Van. Action Van takes the most commonly requested van build-out additions from Beveridge’s Van Guys days — beds, solar panels, insulation — and offers three packages for upgrading Sprinter and Dodge Promaster vans.

COOKING IN A VAN—OR NOT Pine, Roy and Long all cite financial freedom among

—JEFF PINE

Pine says he has friends who do better with food preparation, going to farmer’s markets late in the day or buying in bulk and spending half as much as he does on food. “I always feel like I’m scurrying around for food, which is a little bit stressful, so it’s almost like a rent payment,” Pine says. “At the same time, I’m going to the grocery store and getting dank organic food already cooked. That has to go with the why you’re doing it. I do it to save money, but I’m definitely doing it for the freedom of moving around, even if it’s just across town.” Roy and Long both eat out more as well. Roy tries to find creative ways to keep it cheap, like eating lunch at supermarkets that have salad bars or hot options. “It’s definitely way cheaper,” Long says. “Pretty much my only expenses are gas and food. So I obviously spend more on gas, but not paying rent balances that out. I probably spend more money

on food since I’m eating out a lot, but it’s not too much more.”

THE DOWNSIDES OF VAN LIFE While the hardships of van life and living in a confined space may seem profound to those on the outside, these van lifers don’t have many complaints. For one, these guys are doing it by choice—unlike many financially strapped people who are forced to live in vehicles or campers due to difficult circumstances. As reported in the Source’s Housing Crisis series, many people live in campers, cars and tents in Central Oregon, forced there by financial or personal hardship. According to the Homeless Leadership Coalition’s point-in-time homeless count conducted in January, 778 people were experiencing homelessness in the tri-county area. Armed with a laid-back personality and cool demeanor, the van lifers we talked to look to the bright side, even through 90 inches of rain, which Pine experienced in Santa Cruz this winter. “I’ve had days where I kind of get beat down by it and I’m like, ‘What am I doing?’” Pine says. “Driving back down the coast, just in the rain and everything is really soggy. Then I’ll see someone crawling out of a bush and think I have this amazing roof over my head. In the rain, I just embrace it, I deal with it, I kind of enjoy it. I appreciate it and appreciate the sunshine when it comes back out.” For Roy, he sees the hardships as being “small fry.” In the Sprinter, it can be difficult to keep fresh ice in the cooler, which causes worry about whether the food will go bad. Finding parking spots near bathrooms can be tough, but none of the three van lifers seemed too concerned. “I’d spend some time down by Miller’s Landing. It’s riverfront real estate for free,” Roy says. “Someone comes and cleans the bathroom every day.” For Long, showers have been easy to come by and he can charge all of his devices at school. Getting up in the early mornings when he first moved into the van were really cold, but otherwise he doesn’t have many complaints.

JUST A FAD? It might promise plenty of freedom, but Pine, Roy and Long don’t foresee living in their vans long term. At three and a half years, Pine has been at it the longest, but could see moving into a house in the Continued on page 11...

“I needed to find a place to live for a month until school went out so I figured I would buy a van and make a home out of it. Then I liked it, so I kept living in it,” Long says. “I like that I don’t have to pay rent, all my stuff is with me wherever go and I can sleep anywhere I want. And I’m forced to always be doing something, I can’t just go home and sit on the couch and do nothing.” Long bought an old carpet cleaning van, removing the old machinery before he could live in it. He added insulation, plywood on the interior and a small raised bed. He bought a small cabinet from Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore that fits nicely inside. He doesn’t have a heating source like Pine and Roy, but if he decides to continue into the winter his brother welded him a small woodstove he could place inside for warmth.

While the Source was unable to verify revenues Trinity may receive, in the community of Pasadena, Calif., Verizon offered to build a 53-foot faux bell tower in a church’s parking lot and offered a $2,000 monthly stipend. An ex-T-Mobile employee familiar with the issue notes that this amount is “considerably low, and that the rent allocated could be anywhere from $5,000-$7,500—even $10,000.” Stahl says that some parents have considered leaving Amity if the tower is approved. “I wouldn’t feel comfortable dropping my children off each day, knowing they were being exposed.” Stahl adds, “I’m not anti-cell phone and anti-technology, I just don’t think we need to sacrifice potentially our children’s health for upgrades from 4G to 5G.” Flato says that since 2010 Verizon has spent $122 billion in improvements across the U.S and does so to " continue to invest to be sure we stay ahead of the rapidly increasing demand for mobile data." City of Bend’s Henson notes, “With cell service providers upgrading

from 4G to 5G, we expect to receive applications for several more cell towers in the near future, in addition to the proposed wireless facility in the Trinity Episcopal Church bell tower.” Even if the church’s board of directors approves the tower, it will still face city planning division reviews and need to meet development code criterias.

Decisions can also be appealed to a hearings officer. Stahl hopes that it doesn’t come to that and that the church will listen to the pleas of its neighbors. “What the church needs to think about is whether they want to prioritize profit or prioritize the protection of our children and the residents next door.” SW

increased revenues would be spent, the church is known for hosting community-centered and homeless outreach services. “We’re open and listening to the community,” Holdorph says. “The matter is deciding whether or not cell phone towers impact health or not... and we will take all into consideration.” Walkup notes, “...from the perspective of some in the public, the partnership looks ethically questionable. Have you considered that by aligning the church with a commercial enterprise, with even the remotest possibility of causing long-term harm to a child, that the very sacredness, holiness and authority of the church itself is called into question?” Verizon spokesperson Heidi Flato says the need for the tower is in reaction to feedback received from customers in the Old Bend area. "Service-related concerns ranging from slow data performance to dropped calls," were of primary concerns. She says that once completed, the site will "add additional network capacity, improved in-home coverage and increased data throughout." Flato also notes that the proposed tower will match the existing aesthetic of the

next year. He plans to stay in Bend next winter. Another tough winter could expedite that transition. Long, at it the shortest amount of time, hasn’t decided what he’ll do when winter comes. He may make his van more winter-ready or he’ll find another apartment. Roy spent last winter living with his girlfriend. The two recently purchased a trailer in order to continue the simple lifestyle he’s devoted himself to the last two years. He said the next step may be a tiny house, but always wants to have a van for camping. “I see full-time van lifers just fluctuate: it goes up and down, it’s not necessarily growing,” Pine says. “I see the amount of vans growing. I encounter van lifers all the time and it’s a cool connection. Usually you have a lot more in common than living in a van.” With little data on the actual number of people living in vans by choice, it’s hard to tell whether #vanlife is a growing trend or just a fad. One thing is for sure: The appearance of tricked out vans in Central Oregon is common. Based on conversations with Long, Roy and Pine, it seems appealing for individuals seeking freedom, be it financial or in mobility. It takes a certain type, as river showers and confined spaces aren’t for everyone. “I think it’s definitely romanticized, but at the same time it can be pretty romantic,” Pine says of van life. “Depends if you’re actually going to live in the van full time. Just like any way you choose to live life, there’s going to be ups and downs. Some of them are magnified by not having a solid home base. I think it’s rad.” SW

& Honest SOUND Live Ian Thomas and Band of Drifters appreciate the rawness of early roots music By Anne Pick 15

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 23 / June 8, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Ian Johnson, second from left, leader of Band of Drifters, takes to the backroads and appreciates the natural beauty on tour.

“I

’ve always been traveling in my life and I actually started traveling before I started playing music,” Ian Thomas, leader of Band of Drifters says. “The two have always been really integrated in my lifestyle.” As cliché as it may sound, Thomas takes the road less traveled when it comes to touring. He generally avoids large cities and spends a lot of time on backroads, exploring national forests. Touring gives him the opportunity to

“Some days I was out on the street for 12 hours, playing and taking breaks and playing and taking breaks, just trying to learn how to play and make a few bucks in the process.” —IAN THOMAS get out in nature, which is something he says he needs when he’s on the road for an extended period of time. “I try to enjoy not only the show and the touring, but the traveling as well. If you’re going to drive all over this country going to play shows, why would you not take advantage of all the varied natural beauty that’s out here?” Not only does Thomas take a different direction in touring than the typical musician, he also had a less than average start in the pursuit of his passion for music. He always felt connected to early roots, blues and country music, which still influences his music today. Thomas, who grew up in New England, took several trips hitchhiking around the

country shortly after turning 18 to check out the world he lived in. “I always wanted to play music but didn’t know how,” Thomas recalls. “I started out in some of those hitchhiking trips literally playing the banjo on the side of the street in San Francisco without even really knowing how to play the banjo.” Years later, Thomas went to New Orleans with a guitar in hand. He hung out on the streets busking and playing music. He loved the city because he says he could play on the street, make a little bit of money and meet lots of musicians who were generous about taking the time to teach him things — something he’d never experienced in any other city at that point. “I learned a lot from that and then when I ended up in New York, that was kind of what I was doing for money and for practice,” Thomas says. “Some days I was out on the street for 12 hours, playing and taking breaks and playing and taking breaks, just trying to learn how to play and make a few bucks in the process.” Thomas started recording all of his shows from a very young age, both on a tape deck and through digital methods. He made tapes and CDs so he had something to sell on the street. With his background in recording live music, releasing live albums comes naturally for Thomas. His latest release, “Live in 2016” features songs recorded over

the course of five dates in his current home state of Montana. ”I like it because it’s honest,” Thomas says of releasing live albums. “That’s the band. That’s how we sound. In a room, playing to a live audience. It’s not a creative masterpiece that we’ve taken into a studio and done in isolation, though I love that, too. It’s what we do on a nightly basis. I’m mostly a performer so the live albums capture what we sound like any given night of the week.” When it comes to the album itself, the songs span a period of close to 16 years. The influences draw from early roots, blues and country music, as well as the sort of lyrically driven writing popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s. His songs are honest, stemming from his actual life experiences; no fantasy, he says. “I’ve always been interested in music. I’ve always been moved by it. And at different times in my life, different things have moved me,” Thomas says. “I appreciate the rawness of a lot of early American music. You can really hear the men and women behind it. I’m most moved by music when I can hear the human or humans behind it.” SW Band of Drifters

No Pressure

Alder Street Band returns with its new genre-crossing album By Anne Pick

lder Street Band has come a long way since the group’s inception at the Campbell Club, a student co-op near the University of Oregon in Eugene. Beginning as a like-minded gathering of musicians, the band has evolved, while still holding onto the founding philosophy of having fun playing music with friends. “We all have jobs. There are two high school teachers in the band and a full-time daddy who’s also in school,” guitarist Ian Royer says. “We don’t have that much pressure on us. I feel like lots of times you can get a lot of pressure on you if it’s your full-time gig. It’s so hard to be a musician because musicians are commonly underpaid. That type of pressure wears on some bands. When we book shows, we book them for fun, primarily.”

"We like to rock out and it's fun to do that live." — IAN ROYER Fun comes off in the music instantly. The band has a decisively bluegrass bent, but has garnered the “alterna-grass” description on more than one occasion for the jams that incorporate folk rock and punk sounds. “Different members write different songs that the band ends up playing,” Royer confesses. “You know, Jeff, our mandolin player, may be drawing more from classic rock, and Chris on the banjo might be drawing more from bluegrass, and I have no clue where I get my songs from. We like to rock out and it’s fun to do that live.” The band’s latest album, “Monarch Before the Storm,” crosses more genre lines than its last release, “Americannibal,” a faster-paced album that featured drummer Emily West more prominently and was more straightforward bluegrass. On “Monarch,” “Ain’t Got Jack” comes across with a distinct

tango style. “Bar by the River” features a trumpet and gets more funky. “Party at the End of the World” is fast-paced, too, reminiscent of the straight-forward jams on “Americannibal.” The band wants to play songs that stick out. Before recording an album, the members go over the songs and play them live to see how audiences respond to different parts, making changes as they see necessary. “The studio is a lot like your movie and your shows are like your plays, in a way,” Royer says. “For your movie, you get to do cuts, you get to bring in friends, you get to really have fun with it.” Of their albums, Royer and Alder Street feel strongest about “Americannibal” and “Monarch Before the Storm.” He feels there was a shift with these two albums and with the band itself. The band continues to have fun, just as their humble Campbell Club roots suggest, while evolving and growing as a band. “As long as we’re having fun, we’re going to keep doing it,” Royer says. “We haven’t gotten bored yet. Every year is more fun and I feel like we’re putting out a better product, better music every year too. As long as it’s getting exponentially better, we’re going to keep going.” SW

ERADICATION GUIDE

LETSPULLTOGETHER.COM

Let’s Pull Together

Why are noxious weeds a problem? • The problem of noxious, non-native weeds proliferating in Central Oregon is severe. • Many noxious weeds overrun native vegetation, reducing habitat for other plants and wildlife, destroying ecosystems by altering soil, hydrology, stealing scarce water, and increasing fire danger.

ORANGE HAWKWEED (Hieracium aurantiacum) is a perennial with above-ground runners

(stolons) that root at the tips. Roots are shallow and fibrous. The plant grows up to 12 inches tall and contains milky juice. The flowers cluster at the top of a leafless stem. Stiff black, glandular hairs cover flower stalks. Leaves are hairy, lance shaped, up to 5 inches long and exclusively basal.

• Noxious weeds infest crops and cost local communities in terms of visual blight, a reduction of property values, and lost agricultural production. • Some noxious weeds are poisonous to humans, livestock, and wildlife. • Seeds from noxious weeds are spread by foot and vehicular traffic along our roadways and through our public lands. • Many property owners unknowingly have these non-native, noxious weeds growing in their yards and fields, which aggra vates the situation. • Sometimes this damage cannot be undone except by sustained effort over decades.

SCOTCH THISTLE

(Onopordum acanthium) is a biennial that grows up to 12 feet tall. Stems

have broad, spiny wings. Leaves are large, spiny, and covered with fine dense hair, giving a grayish appearance. Upper leaves are alternated, coarsely lobed; basal leaves may be up to 2 feet long and 1 foot wide. Flower heads are numerous, 1 to 2 inches in diameter, bracts spine -tipped. Flowers are violet to reddish. Fruits are about 3/16 inch long, tipped with slender bristles. An aggressive plant best controlled in the rosette stage.

Need help identifying noxious weeds? Please visit any our noxious weed displays for complimentary noxious weed id material. • Deschutes County , 1300 NW Wall St. • Deschutes County Road Department, 61150 SE 27th St. • City of Bend, City Hall, 710 NW Wall St.

Additional Help:

• Site visits are available for property owners. • Educational presentations can be made to your group or neighborhood. • The Deschutes County Weed Wagon boasts a ton of helpful information, id material, and educational videos; it is available for larger events. • The Deschutes County Weed Advisory Board meets monthly and welcomes your participation and involvement. • Oregon State weed laws provide governing agencies the authority for enforcement and compliance. In Deschutes County, fines for failure to control noxious weeds can reach up to $2000 per day, in Bend fines can reach up to $750 per day. • Deschutes County offers technical advice and may have financial assistance for landowners with noxious. weeds

For more information: In Deschutes County, visit deschutes.org/weeds or contact Ed Keith at 541-322-7117 or ed.keith@deschutes.org for more information. . In Bend, visit bendoregon.gov/weeds or contact Julie Craig at 541-388-5527 or jcraig@bendoregon.gov for more information

RUSSIAN THISTLE (Salsola iberica) is a rounded, bushy, much branched annual, 1/2 to 3

feet tall, reproducing by seed. Stems are usually red or purple striped. Leaves are alternate; the first are long, string-like and soft, with later leaves short, scale-like and tipped with a stiff spine. Seeds are spread as mature plants break off at ground level and are scattered by the wind as tumbleweeds. Seedling plants are long and fleshly; herbicide applications should be made at this growth stage.

DALMATION TOADFLAX (Linaria dalmatica) is a perennial, up to 3 feet tall, reproducing by seed

and underground root stalks which makes this plant extremely difficult to control. Leaves are waxy and clasp the stem.

Dalmatian Toadflax,

What To Know Before You Pull

Dalmatian toadflax stem weevil, Mecinus janthiniformis (formerly known as Mecinus janthinus): This insect is having a profound impact on Dalmatian toadflax infestations. Adults feed on the foliage and flowers while larvae mine out the stem. Plants are often stunted and tops of the plant are riddled with holes caused by adult feeding. This insect flies well and seeks out new toadflax patches. Because the insectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only source of food is Dalmatian toadflax, as the density of the weed decreases, the insectâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population also decreases, a classic predator-prey relationship.

SPOTTED KNAPWEED (Centaurea maculosa) is biennial or usually short- lived perennial with

a stout taproot. It can have one or more stems, branches 1 to 3 feet tall. The flowers are pinkish-purple. Bracts under the flowers have dark spots tipped with fringe. Leaves of the mature plant are finely divided.

PUNCTUREVINE (Goat Head) (Tribulus terrestris) is an annual that blooms

July to October, grows prostrate to the ground from a taproot and forms dense mats 4 feet across. The plant produces numerous stems some growing up to six feet long. Leaves are opposite, hairy, divided into 4 to 8 pairs of leaflets each about 1/2 inches long. Flowers are small, yellow. Fruits is woody bur that consists of 5 sections, which, at maturity, break into tack-like structures with sharp rigid spines. Each section contains 2 to 4 seeds. A single plant can produce around 400 fruit each containing two or three seeds.

COMMON MULLEIN

(Verbascum thapsis) is a biennial that produces a large, thick rosette of

fuzzy leaves the first year and a single, stout, erect stem, 2 to 6 feet tall, the second year. The leaves are alternate, overlapping one another, light green, densely woolly. Flowers are sissile, borne in long terminal spikes, sulfur yellow, 5 lobed, and more than an inch in diameter. Because of the large number of seeds produced by each plant, it is difficult to control.

Please leave dalmatian toadflax undisturbed if you suspect weevils are present. The plants will appear to have boring on stem and may display some damage.

This week, we asked people:

William Anderson, Summit High School sophomore I feel like pulling out of the Paris Agreement is a very shortsighted action. I feel that, diplomatically, this will hurt the U.S., considering how many countries are in the Paris Agreement. The fact that Syria and Nicaragua are the only other countries not in it, it really creates a dent in U.S. diplomatic foreign affairs. I also feel like it will damage a lot of coastal cities in the U.S. after they experience the effects of climate change. Despite the possible benefits in the short run to the U.S. economy, down the road this will have a negative effect.

Doug Elliot, Summit High School science teacher I think this is a step backward in trying to combat the problem of global warming. That problem is ongoing and it takes a collective effort to address it in a meaningful way. The United States has an opportunity to act in a positive way as a world leader to move things forward on the subject of climate change and we are now going in the opposite direction, in my opinion. I believe, in the context of the current administration, this type of behavior, that puts “America first” and acts independently without looking at, perhaps, the collective good of the world community, has become expected. In the past, this might have been something that was unusual, but it seems to be more the norm nowadays.

Troy Kucera, Bend resident I think it is shortsighted, and I think he is just appealing to his base. This base is working-class Americans from middle America that were kind of duped into voting for him based on him telling them that he is going to bring their jobs back. Lots of those jobs are now obsolete and aren’t coming back. I think he just duped a lot of people. Thankfully, a bunch of states and other countries are still committed to implementing the change that he, yesterday, pulled us out of. Hopefully, large states like California and Oregon and Washington can band together and say they are going to stick with it. Lots of companies sell products in those states, and they will have to abide by their environmental regulations, so hopefully it will stay that way.

Christie McCormick, Bend resident I think it is despicable, shortsighted, selfish and embarrassing. I feel sad and angry and fearful. What he has done in pulling out of the Paris Agreement, and I personally think he has done a lot of terrible things, but this is flying in the face of two of the most civilizing principles or institutions that we have right now as a society. One is diplomacy, and turning his back on essentially every other nation is a slap in the face, and it isolates us and that’s not good. The other institution is science. I think that as soon as we are ignoring scientific reality and deciding that we can override it, it becomes a crisis. This is the greatest crisis of our time.

On June 6, a coalition of 1,219 governors, mayors, businesses, and universities and colleges—including Oregon Gov. Kate Brown—publicly announced their intent to continue ensuring the U.S. remains a global leader in reducing carbon emissions, calling the effort the “We Are Still In” initiative. The mayors of Beaverton, Eugene and Portland also signed on. Editor’s note: No one we contacted for this report was willing to go on the record supporting the U.S.’ departure from the Paris Agreement. Intern Leigha Threlkeld contributed to this report.

From Mountain Tops to Riverbanks Gail Snyder helped save Colorado’s Pikes Peak. Now her sights are set on saving the Deschutes River

—GAIL SNYDER

By Magdalena Bokowa

ail Snyder was born an environmentalist. “It’s the core of my being,” says the cofounder of the Coalition for the Deschutes, “and sometimes that means, living in deep and abiding despair. I joke that at times I’m not fun to be around, but I wake up each morning determined to make a change.” The Australia native holds a master’s in physical geology and has been championing for the restoration of the Upper Deschutes River for over four years. “People are born with innate skills,” says Snyder. “Some are born mathematicians, writers, entrepreneurs, musicians and farmers. I was born an environmental activist. It’s just who I am.” At first glance, one wouldn’t suspect the soft-spoken, easygoing academic to be a critical component behind the saving of Colorado Springs’ famed backyard mountain, Pikes Peak — a feat that awarded her the “Conservationist of the Year” award by the Sierra Club. But within a few minutes of quiet conversation, Snyder’s vehement passion, intelligence and in-depth knowledge of the workings of our surrounding environment are evident. Her earnestness is clear and her passion explicit. “I’ve been known to be disruptive,” she says, laughing, “...But I love our Earth processes… and I love how geography embraces all the disciples.” Explaining her fixation on geography further, she continues, “So you start to look at it through multiple lenses — economics, history, culture, the legal system, the social system. It raises important questions, such as who’s got the power, who owns the narrative? What’s the status quo?” Challenging the status quo is just what Snyder excels at, and did in Colorado, when as a graduate student, she uncovered the mass degradation that a dirt road leading to the summit of Pikes Peak was causing to its surrounding landscapes. This included 60 acres of high-altitude, extremely rare wetlands that were threatened. “They were causing huge amount of damage to the wetlands, burying tundra, burying trees, gravel running down this road…they were sacrificing half the mountain, all for this road.” She joined the Pike Peak’s Advisory Commission — a committee that she says was largely a “rubber stamp” council. “They said to me,

'These meetings used to be so much fun before you came along. We would meet for a few minutes and go and have a beer,'” she says, laughing. “And I was naive at the time, I thought all I had to do was show them my research, my photos and they would make changes.” Snyder soon found out that the big business of car rallies carried more weight than the ecological implications. She learned first hand the trouble one can find oneself in when research goes against societal wants. Snyder was about to present her research findings to the committee, when the director of transportation got wind of her troubling wetland implications and intercepted her before the meeting. He said to me, “'Gail, I want to talk to you about wetlands and troublemakers...' I couldn’t believe he was trying to silence me. I still see his face to this very day.” She credits this experience to the turn of events that led her away from academia. “Before him, I thought I would go on and do my PHD, but he was the one that turned me into an environmental activist.” Defiant, the experience fueled her desire and Snyder went on to give her full presentation to the committee — uncensored, of course. “I made sure to say ‘wetlands’ as many damn times that I could,” she says. “And then the next day, I called the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).” After several many years, Snyder won the fight, using her meticulous research as a foundation for the case. The Forest Service ended up paving the road. “Sometimes environmentalism is counter-intuitive,” she says, “In this case it was better to pave it so it would stop the erosion. And guess what? The car rally drivers love it even more now.” Several stints with nonprofits and as a legislative aide in Salem, Snyder and her American husband, Syd, who she met in 1978 while hiking in New Zealand, retired to Bend in 2013. Her attention turned to the Deschutes River after noticing the slow water flows, rising temperatures and erosion of the riverbanks. She co-founded the nonprofit, Coalition for the Deschutes, in 2016. “Just like Pikes Peaks, the Deschutes’ riverbanks show scarring. Trees are eroding, sediment is growing. The erosion of the Upper Deschutes plays into issues with sediment in Mirror Pond.” Snyder notes the water qualities, the rising

temperatures and the impacted wildlife and fisheries as major issues that need attention. “Oregon has many good laws,” she notes, “But lack of funding means there is trouble with policing and implementation of these laws. “But, if we live in Central Oregon, and we call ourselves Central Oregonians, we need to own the past and be responsible. To lock ourselves in the past and lay blame is not productive. We need honest accounting of the past, a reckoning of where we are today and work together to make change.” Also the former program director of Central Oregon LandWatch, Snyder notes the progress she has seen in the last two years. “I feel very optimistic. I see the irrigation districts doing the right thing. There’s a genuine, sincere desire to fix the river... It’s a huge problem to tackle.” Commenting on how tough conservation work can be, she says, “You uncover two stones, and then find two more. There are so many layers you must consider.” When not pulling up spreadsheets, photo documenting, organizing field trips and advocating for awareness and education, Snyder happily spends time with her husband of 37 years, their two children, and now grandchildren. She’s been a vegetarian for nearly 40 years and says that choosing not to eat meat feels essential to her being — just like being an environmentalist. “I don’t care if other people eat meat. I think it’s a natural thing for humans to do, but I do not want to.” Snyder also runs ultramarathons, and says she has accidently won five races. “I still and will always identify as an ultrarunner: ultrarunning is as much a philosophy and way of life as it is a sport.” When she won a trail double-marathon, she came in first overall, beating her male counterparts. “I left them in the dust… that was really sweet.” Using education, awareness, research and wit, Gail Snyder will keep defending the river. “The work will never be finished,” she says, “But as long as I am alive, I will care because of my children and my grandchildren.” SW

Who’s Ready for Farm Fresh Veggies?

LITTLE BITES

By Lisa Sipe

Time to enjoy the bounty of the season

The Farmers Perspective Local farmers have been working the fields for the past few months to be ready for market. Walk by the booths and see overflowing baskets of fresh lettuce and bundles of bright orange carrots that only 24 to 36 hours earlier were rooted in the ground. The day before market, farmers have to harvest, clean the produce, bunch products by hand and pack them for transport. The majority of market season is warm, so to maximize freshness, farmers pick the most delicate produce the morning of the market. Nearly all the farms serving Bend are small- to medium-sized, which means a lot of the last minute prep work is done with the help of friends, family or volunteers who work in

exchange for produce. Rainshadow Organics offers a summer workfor-your-share program. In exchange for working at the farm one day a week throughout the season, volunteers get a weekly share—an opportunity for people who may have more time than money to get high-quality organic food. Making Connections At the market you’ll meet the passionate farmers and local entrepreneurs behind the fresh, locally grown food and homemade products. Jess Weiland of High Desert Food & Farm Alliance said, “The market is a chance for farmers to speak directly to customers and benefit from feedback.” For

Lisa's Recipes

instance, if the farmer only has orange carrots and they keep getting requests for rainbow carrots, they can plant differently the next season. It’s a win-win because the customer finds what they want and the farmer can sell more. Additionally, farmers get a boost when someone tells them how great their produce looks or tastes. It makes those long days toiling in the soil worth it. Early Season Finds If you’ve ever planted flowers in Bend, you know how late the growing season starts. In the early market season the produce grown in Central Oregon includes lettuce, kale, spinach, carrots and radishes. Toward the end of June expect to see more peas and beans. The markets also draw farmers from the Willamette Valley, so you’ll even find berries, a definite favorite, at the start of the season. If you’re like me and get berry crazy, I’ve put together a few easy recipes so those fresh berries don’t go to waste. I’m speaking from experience because I’ve been known to buy a flat for two people—that’s over 11 pounds of berries!

Gambling on Casino Beer Nevada’s semi-hidden decent brew

RISE WITH THE SUN ON A MAJESTIC

BALLOON RIDE! JULY 28TH & 29TH AT DAWN R.E. JEWELL ELEMENTARY IN BEND, OR

The atmosphere’s cozy, the beer world-class at Brasserie Saint James.

ny Bendite who’s ever gone on a cruise or stayed at a fancy Nevada casino resort knows that good craft beer just isn’t part of the package there, most of the time. This much is clear upon stepping through the doors of the Grand Sierra Resort, a complex about three miles east of downtown Reno—a popular weekend getaway from Oregon. It’s got nearly two thousand hotel rooms, the largest casino floor in the city, a convention center, a driving range, three go-kart tracks...and very little decent beer. In fact, the tap walls on most of the on-floor bars—there are four or five of them—are 100-percent devoted to the big macros, and the only thing identifiable as “craft” is the IPA from Saint Archer Brewery in San Diego, owned by MillerCoors. It’s like going back in time, and not in a fun way. But given that Reno has nearly a quarter-million people (and boasts a lot of the outdoor attractions that Bend has), there has to be something better. And there is. The local ale-trail map lists a dozen around Reno and the surrounding Lake Tahoe area, with five more currently in the planning stages. If beer fans in Oregon have heard of any of them, it’s likely FiftyFifty Brewing in nearby Truckee, CA, whose bottles occasionally make it up to the shops here. They’re known for Eclipse, their line of barrel-aged imperial stouts, and eight variations of it have been released for 2017, including one aged in apple-brandy casks.

The first brewery in the region was Great Basin Brewery in 1993, which now has locations in southern Reno and the neighboring town of Sparks. Its flagship is Ichthyosaurus, an IPA named after the official state fossil of Nevada (just “Icky” is fine), and it’s brimming with Cascade hops and general good cheer. To see where craft is going in the region, however, it’s best to head over to Midtown, a formerly derelict area currently in the throes of a Pearl District-style makeover. The place to go here is Brasserie Saint James, a brewpub in a comfortable old red brick building lined with trophy deer heads and other old-Nevada memorabilia. It’s won some serious awards at brew conventions, including Best Mid-Size Brewpub at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival, and it’s clear why upon trying out their black lager and German-style altbier—both instant classics. From the Brasserie, it’s a quick walk over to SixFour, a growler and crowler-fill joint that’s a quick go-to for studying all of northern Nevada’s breweries, including IMBIB, Pigeon Head, and Under the Rose. Just a bit further is The Brewer’s Cabinet, a friendly neighborhood-style outfit whose selection of house brews runs the gamut of styles. For fans of darker beers, the Dirty Wookie—an imperial brown ale that packs a lot of chocolate and raisin flavor inside—is a must. SW

SCREEN Johnny’s Depths

The latest "Pirates" finds new lows By Jared Rasic 37

Depp has become the Jar Jar Binks of this franchise. From that point on, all of his roles were surface-level quirky without any of the soul that made Depp a truly great actor. Everything became pale skin and giant hats or goofy mustaches and several layers of grotesque makeup. Now, with the release of the fifth “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Depp has become the Jar Jar Binks of this franchise. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” follows the formula so perfectly that it’s a little depressing. The direction looks and feels exactly like the other films, down to the

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 23 / June 8, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

don’t like Johnny Depp anymore. We’ll always have “Edward Scissorhands” and “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,” but his schtick hasn’t just gotten old, it’s become a bit unbearable. Not even taking into account his tabloid-fodder personal life, he’s become a caricature of what he once was. The thing that used to make Depp such a remarkable actor was his fearlessness in his choices and his performances. He was weird and quirky but brought a vulnerable honesty to his roles, whether it was the doomed accountant William Blake from “Dead Man” or the bittersweet irony of “Ed Wood.” Even with his successes, he was still largely an indie actor until the original “Pirates of the Caribbean.”

cinematography and set construction. The script feels like a perfunctory afterthought. You can easily pick out everything coming just based on the characters: a misunderstood and tough young woman, a generically handsome young man whose heroism is noble for its own sake and a villain who’s mildly sympathetic and also gruesomely fun to look at. It’s paint-by-numbers filmmaking at the most fundamental level. What made the original “Pirates” so entertaining was what a surprise it was. A two-and-a half-hour Disney movie based on a 40-year-old theme park ride should not have worked, and the fact it did was a minor miracle. A big reason why it did was Gore Verbinski’s

inspired direction and Depp’s swarthy and effortless performance. A decade later, Verbinski has moved on and Depp isn’t invested in creating something memorable. “Dead Men Tell No Tales” has everything this franchise trades in: a magical McGuffin (the Trident of Poseidon), fisticuffs, Captain Jack in prison about to be executed, people swinging from ropes high over the Earth and about a dozen other familiar tropes. Following the blueprints that make something popular can sometimes work out well (“The Force Awakens”), but if it’s not done without a modicum of artistry, then it just plays as pathetic and lazy.

Depp will probably have a massive comeback sometime soon. He just needs one more perfect role to bring him back into pop culture’s good graces. As it stands though (and I say this as someone who watches EVERYTHING), I think I’ll be avoiding his work for a while. He got on that last nerve and swashbuckled all over it. SW

Blockbuster Season

Another big, dumb and fun summer at the movies By Jared Rasic 39 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 23 / June 8, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

Top, It’s already time for a new Spider-Man movie...aren’t we lucky? Middle, Valerian looks great, but boy, does this actor suck. Bottom, Michael Bay makes things explode in “Transformers: The Last Knight.”

Last week we took a look at the indie releases coming out over the summer months for those who want to avoid the explosive hyperbole of the omnipresent blockbusters. Since I love a small French drama just as much as watching The Rock punch his way into my heart, this week we take a look at the huge releases. All movies deserve our love… even the big, dumb ones. June 9 The Mummy: Tom Cruise reboots the “Mummy” franchise in Universal’s attempt to create a shared monster universe of films. There will be reboots of “Bride of Frankenstein,” “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” “The Invisible Man,” “Van Helsing” and “The Wolf Man,” so hopefully you like the classic Universal monsters as much as I do. If not, the next few years might bore you. June 16 Cars 3: Easily the least loved of Pixar’s multiple franchises, the trailers for the next installment in the “Cars” series look dark as hell. Lightning McQueen getting in an accident in somber

slow-motion might make the kids in the audience sad, but I’m personally excited to see how dark Pixar can go with a movie about anthropomorphized cars. June 23 Transformers: The Last Knight: Yes, the “Transformers” movies are largely terrible and this one probably won’t be any different, but there are few reasons why this one might be worth a few laughs. For one, it has Sir Anthony Hopkins starring, but more importantly, it also has something to do with King Arthur and the Knights Templar! The more insane director Michael Bay goes with connecting giant fighting robots to Arthurian legend, the more he should shut up and take my money.

July 7

July 21

Spider-Man: Homecoming: We’ve had plenty of “Spider-Man” movies and it seems like half of them were origin stories, but the reason to be excited for this all-new reboot is that we finally have Spider-Man back where he belongs: The Marvel Cinematic Universe. After his scene stealing appearance in “Civil War,” Tom Holland’s Spider-Man brings the wise-cracking goofiness that past iterations of Peter Parker were missing. Plus: Spider-Man and Iron Man together is a delightful time at the movies.

Dunkirk: Christopher Nolan sets his sights on making a historical war drama. All of his films so far have been genre pictures, so it will be interesting to see if he can find the emotional heart in the story of 300,000 Allied troops evacuating a French port town. As great as “The Dark Knight” and “Inception” are, the heart of them is mostly cold and sterile.

July 14 War for the Planet of the Apes: “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was entertaining and “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” is a modern classic, so it’s easy to get excited for the next installment in the series. Andy Serkis’ Caesar is the finest CGI creation since Gollum and watching him journey from a childlike ape to a warrior on horseback has been quite powerful. I’m thinking this will be the highlight of the summer blockbuster season.

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets: Luc Besson hasn’t done epic fantasy like this since “The Fifth Element,” so the world is holding its breath that this will be a modern classic. I’m nervous about it because star Dane DeHaan is a film killer for me. His work in “Amazing Spider-Man 2” was laughably bad and I’m not sure he can act without being petulant and whiny. The trailers look amazing, so I’m cautiously optimistic, but man, I really hate that kid. SW

Strength OUTSIDE Senior Oregon Senior Games begins in Bend June 12

By Source Staff

By Nicole Vulcan

t’s no secret that Central Oregon is home to accomplished athletes of many persuasions—and that trend doesn’t stop with an increase in the number of birthdays celebrated. For the past four years, older athletes have descended on Bend for the Oregon Senior Games, a series of events that allow competitors 50 and over the chance to show off their continuing athletic prowess. (If you’re 40 or over, you can also compete in the exhibition rounds.) Past competitors run the gamut in terms of age and interest. They’ve included Grants Pass resident Florence Latter, then age 92, who competed in the 50- and 100-meter dashes, and Evelyn Cooke, a Bend resident, cancer survivor and an avid pickleball player.

Coyote Willow will play at Crow's Feet Commons in the 'Stand For The Land' fundraiser, 6/30.

STAND FOR THE LAND: A COMMUNITY CELEBRATION OF CONSERVATION

When it comes to the most popular sports at the Oregon Senior Games, the buck stops at pickleball. Of the approximately 500 participants already signed up for events, Oregon Senior Games Event Director Michael Coe says pickleball is by far the most popular, with more than 300 participants. Pickleball is a popular sport in Bend in general, thanks in large part to those who picked up the sport in warmer climates and brought it here when they settled in Bend for retirement. “It started out with the senior crowd down in Arizona and eventually down in Florida,” says Christie Gestvang, Ambassador for the USA Pickleball Association, who lives in Central Oregon. “The senior population transitioning from tennis injuries, maybe shoulder injuries, found that it was less

“You’ll get some people in that are very good at their sport and other people coming in that just want to be introduced —MICHAEL COE to the sport.” pounding on their body, but they loved the action. It’s so much faster than tennis,” she says. For those not familiar to the sport, know that it’s not much like tennis at all. “It’s a combination of tennis, ping pong and badminton, played on a regulation—almost regulation—badminton court, but the rules are different than tennis,” says Kirk Foster, vice president and director of communications for the Bend Pickleball Club. “It’s a ball you hit over a net, but that’s about it,” Foster says of comparing tennis and pickleball. Foster and Gestvang, members of the club that boasts more than 1,000 members in Central Oregon, say the Northwest is now a hotbed for the sport. “We have some of the nationally ranked champions in Oregon, and

New to the Oregon Senior Games: Disc Golf Other events in the competition include archery, bowling, golf, swimming, tennis, a run/walk, and track & field. Oh, and don’t forget a Central Oregon favorite in the exhibition round: Cowboy Action Shooting. Also new on the scene this year: Disc golf, added at least in part due to the fact that Bend now has a competition-worthy disc golf course. The 18-hole course at Bend’s Pine Nursery Park came online last spring, according to Ryan Lane, a member of the Central Oregon Disc Golf Club and organizer of the Senior Games event. Lane encourages those new to the game, as well as the more seasoned players, to come out for the Games, saying the laid-back, easy nature of the sport

makes it ideal for people of all ages. “It’s a great opportunity to play with people who are your own age, whether they be your own ability or not, “ Lane says. “Everyone is friendly in the sport; it’s not going to be cutthroat competitive by any means. People leave their mark and play their best against the course, not against each other.” So what’s the common thread among all the events at the Oregon Senior Games? Helping people maintain an active lifestyle, says Event Director Coe. “You’ll get some people in that are very good at their sport and other people coming in that just want to be introduced to the sport,” he says. This year, the “fun” part is especially highlighted, since this is not a qualifying year for the National Senior Games. The 2017 National Senior Games in Birmingham, Ala., started last week. Next year, participants in the Oregon Senior Games will get a shot at qualifying for the national competition in 2019. This year, it’s all about enjoyment. SW Oregon Senior Games

“FUN”-DRAISER — Just who are our stewards of public lands? Oregon Natural Desert Association (ONDA), that’s who! Nearly 30 years ago, one lone Bend resident decided to ask friends to chip in $5 to help protect the high desert and with that, ONDA was born. It gave birth to Oregon’s first three desert wilderness area designations — the Steens Mountain Range, Oregon Badlands and the Spring Basin. It’s brought awareness to the crucial need to protect public lands. Their 30-year anniversary party features live music by Coyote Willow, local brews on tap and prizes from Patagonia, Keen, Nau and more. Revelers can hop from station to station at an interactive info session where they can pen letters, hear and tell stories and help raise their voices for these lands.

What’s goin’ on, Ma Nature…? By Jim Anderson 43

VOLUME 21 ISSUE 23 / June 8, 2017 / THE SOURCE WEEKLY

here’s something fishy going on with Mother Nature. I’m not an expert on bird behavior or comings and goings of wild animals, but the appearance of a Common Nighthawk over in The Swamp (Portland) last week threw me a curveball. Then there’s the complete absence of house sparrows (or English sparrows) at my domicile, the sudden appearance of that out-of-place poorwill at Lowe’s last spring, the appearance of Bar-tailed Godwits (which should be in China and Alaska) on the Oregon coast, and other things. It just doesn’t seem “normal.” Take that nighthawk, for example. We don’t usually see them around here until around mid-June, and even then they’re spotty, and, unfortunately, seem to be declining in numbers. Now one turned up in Portland in late May. Why so early, and why pass up Central Oregon? Nighthawks usually stop here before heading for The Swamp. Did it get lost and go over—or around— the snow-capped Cascades without seeing them? And what about those Great-tailed Grackles from the southwest countryside that have popped up in The Swamp? How come they’re in the Willamette Valley and not here? Those Bar-tailed Godwits that birders are seeing along the coast are really something! They usually make an incredible, non-stop flight from their wintering grounds in New Zealand all the way to China, then onto Asia and Alaska in spring. Now they’re turning up along Oregon’s coast, banded, wearing fancy tags and implanted radio transmitters.

Common nighthawk flying and nesting.

in Crossroads, after many years of visits by a whole plethora of species. “Yes, we still have Juncos, Chickadees and Mourning Doves with routine appearances of White-headed Woodpeckers and Jays, but these, too, are less frequent and fewer in number. The varied Thrushes, Grosbeaks, Crossbills, Bluebirds, and several others are so sporadic as to be almost non-existent. “Even the Hummingbirds are scarcer. Really miss them all. I wonder if the prescribed burns and forest clear-

In the morning, ravens would find piles of puked-up voles and go at them like there was no tomorrow. Where are all those pestiferous English Sparrows I’ve been feeding for the last 50-plus years? They’ve vanished from my place. How come, all of a sudden I have so many Brewer’s Blackbirds pigging out on my feeders, when in the past, one or two would accidentally come by? To further mystify things, we haven’t seen a hummingbird at our house yet, and I can hardly remember what a Black-headed Grosbeak looks like. They hung out at my place by the hundreds years back. But those dang-blasted European Starlings and Eurasian Collared-Doves are still here, and there are more of them each year! Then this note from a Sisters birder: “Over the past couple of years I’ve idly considered calling you to ask why so few birds were on our property here

ings around Sisters (which are vitally important for forest health and fire safety) might impact them in any way? “Global warming? Who knows. Just hope they will return. Enjoyed them so much.” And it isn’t just birds, there’s something else going on with rodents. A tiny Pinyon mouse turned up at the home of my airplane repairman pal, Vern Goodsell, in 2014. Then last week another turned up at my birder pal Sue Tank’s place—miles and miles from Vern’s. Are we being invaded by the mighty Pinyon mouse? Pinyon mice are named for the pinyon pine seeds they love to eat. You’ll be hard-pressed to find Pinyon pine around here. Oh sure, there may be a couple of decorative trees planted here and there, but a forest of

them, forget it. Way back in the ancient times of 1958 I was fortunate to witness what I think may have been an outbreak of Meadow voles that happens maybe every thousand years or so. I was going out to Alfalfa every Thursday night to play pinochle and eat homemade peach pie at the Grover home. Gene Grover made the best pies on this good Earth, and everyone thought pinochle was a holy pastime. For about a month (if my memory’s as good as I hope it is) when we’d go out at night and change water (no pivots or wheel-sets in those days), a sea of fur would move in front of the irrigation water as it moved between the laterals. It was not possible to step on the ridge of high ground that made up the laterals without stepping on a meadow vole. At night, when the hay was being baled, coyotes would follow the baler, gobbling up voles until their stomachs were stuffed. Then the coyotes would puke them up and go back to eating voles again. In the morning, ravens would find the piles of pukedup voles and go at them like there was no tomorrow. That year, voles were so thick on this side of the Cascades that I can recall Dayton “Hawk” Hyde writing about them in his book, saying they were actually putting ranchers out of business in Klamath country. Then Tularemia hit ‘em, and they were gone, and so were all the Longeared Owls who were pigging out on

them. They dropped out of sight and coyotes started pestering farmers and ranchers again. Old magpie nests had owls nesting in and on them, but when the crash came to the vole’s population, not an owl could be found. So, is that’s what’s going on? Is something changing in our environment because of climate change? Are all those Townsend’s ground squirrels popping out of holes everywhere because hay ranchers are pulling so much water out of the ground that the ground squirrels feeding on the hay are multiplying out of control? Ground squirrel shooting has become a new business. I saw a bus parked in downtown Christmas Valley last week with a shooting platform on top. If all those shooters are using lead ammunition, it’s going to be very hard on the hawks, eagle and owls who eat the dead ground squirrels. They’ll perish from ingesting the lead. There’s another facet to ground squirrel populations that may so be worth considering: They’re also known carriers of the Bubonic plague. If you’re seeing odd things happening with your bird populations, rodents, or frogs and lizards, please keep a record of what you see. Make daily notes on your calendar, then at the end of the growing season, write up what you observed and send it to me. Maybe someone a lot wiser than I can make head or tails of what Mother Nature is up to, what we can look forward to in the future, and perhaps, why. SW

Getting a Zero Down Payment Mortgage

1. USDA loans: Zero down payment loans are available to buyers with decent credit and a steady income that does not exceed certain guidelines for the program. These loans are often called rural loans, but many areas surprisingly qualify under the program. There is no personal mortgage insurance on these, but a 2 percent fee which can be rolled into the loan and an annual fee of .5 percent of the loan balance. 2. First Time Home Buyer Programs: There are various programs available for first time home buyers through certain banks and credit unions along with some government programs. Some of these programs include down payment assistance grants. 3. Credit Union Programs: Some credit unions offer low or no down payment loans, such as Navy Federal Credit Union, which is for members of the military or their family members, and some civilian employees of the Department

of Defense. If you meet the credit criteria, this is a better deal than VA loans because the funding fee is lower at 1.75 percent. Other credit unions also offer zero down financing type loan programs. 4. FHA Loans: These loans do not require stellar credit, the down payment amount is 3.5 percent and all of the down payment can be a gift from a relative or approved nonprofit. Some lenders allow a credit score as low as 580. There is 1.75 percent upfront fee and .85 per cent personal mortgage insurance per year. 5. VA Home Loans: These loans allow veterans and their surviving spouse to purchase a home with no money down and low closing costs. Interest rates are also generally lower than traditional mortgages. These loans also have a funding fee of 2.15-3.3 percent, which can be rolled into the loan. So, there is still some hope with programs like these. The big thing to watch out for is the personal mortgage insurance (PMI) amount. The reason you see PMI requirements is because the loan balance exceeds 80 percent of the value of the property. Once the property value increases so that the loan balance is 80 percent or less of the home’s value, it’s a good time to consider refinancing the mortgage and getting rid of the mortgage insurance.

SERVICES Happy at Home Pet Sitting Mary Shrauger

I’m a guy who hates fake boobs. I’ve dumped women I really liked upon discovering they have them. Total dealbreaker for me. However, I obviously can’t just ask whether a woman has them. What should I do? I don’t want to waste my time or hers. —Real Deal Right. Not exactly a first-date question: “So…did you get your boobs from your mom’s side of the family or from some doc’s Yelp review?” Your aversion to counterfitties doesn’t come out of nowhere. Breast implants are a form of “strategic interference,” evolutionary psychologist David Buss’ term for when the mating strategies of one sex are derailed by the other. Women, for example, evolved to seek “providers” — men with high status and access to resources. A guy engages in strategic interference by impressing the ladies with his snazzy new Audi — one he pays for by subletting a “condo” that’s actually the backyard playhouse of the rotten 8-year-old next door A woman doesn’t need an Audi (or even a bus pass) to attract men. She just needs the features that men evolved to go all oglypants for — like youth, an hourglass bod, big eyes,

full lips, and big bra puppies. Men aren’t attracted to these features just becuz. Biological anthropologist Grazyna Jasienska finds that women with big (natural!) boobs have higher levels of the hormone estradiol, a form of estrogen that increases a woman’s likelihood of conception. Women with both big boobs and a small waist have about 30 percent higher levels — which could mean they’d be about three times as likely to get pregnant as other women. So, big fake boobs are a form of mating forgery — like a box supposedly containing a highdef TV that actually contains a bunch of no-def bricks. There are some telltale signs of Frankenboobs, like immunity from gravity. Women with big real boobs have bra Amy Alkon straps that could double as seat belts and bra backs like those lumbar support belts worn by warehouse workers. However, an increasing number of women have more subtle implants (all the better to strategically interfere with you, my dear!). Though you might get the truth by teasing the subject of plastic surgery into conversation, you should accept the reality: You may not know till you get a woman horizontal — and the sweater Alps remain so high and proud you’re pretty sure you see Heidi running across them, waving to the Ricola guy playing the alpenhorn.

ASTROLOGY

CANCER (June 21July 22): As a Cancerian myself, I’ve had days when I’ve stayed in bed from morning to nightfall, confessing my fears to my imaginary friends and eating an entire cheesecake. As an astrologer, I’ve noticed that these blue patches seem more likely to occur during the weeks before my birthday each year. If you go through a similar blip any time soon, here’s what I recommend: Don’t feel guilty about it. Don’t resist it. Instead, embrace it fully. If you feel lazy and depressed, get REALLY lazy and depressed. Literally hide under the covers with your headphones on and feel sorry for yourself for as many hours as it takes to exhaust the gloom and emerge renewed.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): In the early days of the Internet, “sticky” was a term applied to websites that were good at drawing readers back again and again. To possess this quality, a content provider had to have a knack for offering text and images that web surfers felt an instinctive yearning to bond with. I’m reanimating this term so I can use it to describe you. Even if you don’t have a website, you now have a soulful adhesiveness that arouses people’s urge to merge. Be discerning how you use this stuff. You may be stickier than you realize! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Ancient Mayans used chili and magnolia and vanilla to prepare exotic chocolate drinks from cacao beans. The beverage was sacred and prestigious to them. It was a centerpiece of cultural identity and an accessory in religious rituals. In some locales, people were rewarded for producing delectable chocolate with just the right kind and amount of froth. I suspect, Virgo, that you will soon be asked to do the equivalent of demonstrating your personal power by whipping up the best possible chocolate froth. And according to my reading of the astrological omens, the chances are good you’ll succeed. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Do you have your visa for the wild side? Have you packed your bag of tricks? I hope you’ll bring gifts to dispense, just in case you’ll need to procure favors in the outlying areas where the rules are a bit loose. It might also be a good idea to take along a skeleton key and a snakebite kit. You won’t necessarily need them. But I suspect you’ll be offered magic cookies and secret shortcuts, and it would be a shame to have to turn them down simply because you’re unprepared for the unexpected.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You’re like a prince or princess who has been turned into a frog by the spell of a fairy tale villain. This situation has gone on for a while. In the early going, you retained a vivid awareness that you had been transformed. But the memory of your origins has faded, and you’re no longer working so diligently to find a way to change back into your royal form. Frankly, I’m concerned. This horoscope is meant to remind you of your mission. Don’t give up! Don’t lose hope! And take extra good care of your frog-self, please.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People might have ideas about you that are at odds with how you understand yourself. For example, someone might imagine that you have been talking trash about them — even though you haven’t been. Someone else may describe a memory they have about you, and you know it’s a distorted version of what actually happened. Don’t be surprised if you hear even more outlandish tales, too, like how you’re stalking Taylor Swift or conspiring with the One World Government to force all citizens to eat kale every day. I’m here to advise you to firmly reject all of these

skewed projections. For the immediate future, it’s crucial to stand up for your right to define yourself — to be the final authority on what’s true about you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): “God doesn’t play dice with the universe,” said Albert Einstein. In response, another Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Niels Bohr, said to Einstein, “Stop giving instructions to God.” I urge you to be more like Bohr than Einstein in the coming weeks, Capricorn. As much as possible, avoid giving instructions to anyone, including God, and resist the temptation to offer advice. In fact, I recommend that you abstain from passing judgment, demanding perfection, and trying to compel the world to adapt itself to your definitions. Instead, love and accept everything and everyone exactly as they are right now.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18): *Lysistrata* is a satire by ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes. It takes place during the war between Athens and Sparta. The heroine convinces a contingent of women to withhold sexual privileges from the soldiers until they stop fighting. “I will wear my most seductive dresses to inflame my husband’s ardor,” says one. “But I will never yield to his desires. I won’t raise my legs towards the ceiling. I will not take up the position of the Lioness on a Cheese Grater.” Regardless of your gender, Aquarius, your next assignment is twofold: 1. Don’t be like the women in the play. Give your favors with discerning generosity. 2. Experiment with colorful approaches to pleasure like the Lioness with a Cheese Grater, the Butterfly Riding the Lizard, the Fox Romancing the River, and any others you can dream up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Take your seasick pills. The waves will sometimes be higher than your boat. Although I don’t think you’ll capsize, the ride may be wobbly. And unless you have waterproof clothes, it’s probably best to just get naked. You WILL get drenched. By the way, don’t even fantasize about heading back to shore prematurely. You have good reasons to be sailing through the rough waters. There’s a special “fish” out there that you need to catch. If you snag it, it will feed you for months — maybe longer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): If you chose me as your relationship guide, I’d counsel you and your closest ally to be generous with each other; to look for the best in each other and praise each other’s beauty and strength. If you asked me to help foster your collaborative zeal, I’d encourage you to build a shrine in honor of your bond — an altar that would invoke the blessings of deities, nature spirits, and the ancestors. If you hired me to advise you on how to keep the fires burning and the juices flowing between you two, I’d urge you to never compare your relationship to any other, but rather celebrate the fact that it’s unlike any other in the history of the planet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The Milky Way Galaxy contains more than 100 billion stars. If they were shared equally, every person on Earth could have dominion over at least 14. I mention this because you’re in a phase when it makes sense for you to claim your 14. Yes, I’m being playful, but I’m also quite serious. According to my analysis of the upcoming weeks, you will benefit from envisaging big, imaginative dreams about the riches that could be available to you in the future. How much money do you want? How much love can you express? How thoroughly at home in the world could you feel? How many warm rains would you like to dance beneath? How much creativity do you need to keep reinventing your life? Be extravagant as you fantasize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): “When I grow up, I’m not sure what I want to be.” Have you ever heard that thought bouncing around your mind, Gemini? Or how about this one: “Since I can’t decide what I want to be, I’ll just be everything.” If you have been tempted to swear allegiance to either of those perspectives, I suggest it’s time to update your relationship with them. A certain amount of ambivalence about commitment and receptivity to myriad possibilities will always be appropriate for you. But if you hope to fully claim your birthright, if you long to ripen into your authentic self, you’ll have to become ever-more definitive and specific about what you want to be and do.

y columns with the fewest number of “likes” are ones that deal with cannabis policy. However, the least sexy/funny topics—such as bills pertaining to how we produce, sell and consume cannabis in Oregon—are of far greater importance than my take on the new OG Purple Ghost Rider Cookie Kush. (“It tasted of pot, and I felt high.”) So let’s talk about two bills: SB1057, which just became law, and HB2198, under consideration as of this writing, and will most likely pass. These could mean some big changes, good and bad. The GOOD (from SB1057): Specifies that a OMMP cardholder may jointly possess their six medical marijuana plants under OMMP along with their four marijuana plants allowed under Measure 91. Some medical patients use products such as FECO (Full Extract Cannabis Oil) daily. Growing what is needed to produce a year’s supply is more than most growers can harvest from six plants. SB1057 specified OLCC licensed marijuana producers an additional 10 percent of their existing canopy square footage to produce marijuana for medical use (bump-up). It also requires marijuana producers who do utilize a bump-up to donate for free 75 percent of the marijuana produced. I know recreational growers (RGs) who would love to grow for patients, and this will allow them to do so at no cost to the patient. So far, so good. Then there’s this (from HB2198): Allows specified medical marijuana producers to transfer up to 20 pounds of usable marijuana to either a recreational marijuana wholesaler or processor if certain provisions are met. Does that sound fair? It’s not. RGs pay a staggering number of fees to produce and sell cannabis solely in the recreational marketplace. That’s where the majority of sales occur in Oregon, and all taxes are collected from recreational consumers, as OMMP cardholders are exempt from

1 2

the 20 percent recreational sales tax. As of October 2015, there were 48,699 registered OMMP growers1. If only 25 percent of them produced 20 pounds that they would now be able to sell to the recreational market via a wholesaler or processor, that’s 954,000 pounds of cannabis entering into a marketplace that last year sold approximately 44,000 pounds of flower2. More was used for edibles, extracts and topicals, but even if you triple that number, it’s less than a quarter of what could enter the marketplace from med growers, who are exempt from the rules, fees and permits required of RGs. They aren’t even required to register as a business. I spoke with Meghan Walstatter, of Pure Green dispensary, which she owns with her husband, Matt. “Medical grows have lower overhead than recreational grows, and they will be allowed to ignore many of the expensive regulations that OLCC licensees must follow, bringing their costs down even further,” she said. “This will allow them to sell their product at a lower price than OLCC licensees who have played by the rules.” “Dispensaries would then sell this product at a lower price, reducing the taxes seen by the state and the local governments who have opted in to the local tax program,” Walstatter continued. “Because medical growers are subject to substantially less scrutiny than OLCC licensees, and because the market will be flooded with inexpensive, medically grown product, it creates conditions ripe for diversion into the illegal market. This is a major concern for the state, and we will be exacerbating any existing issues in this area.” Many of the people I have spoken with feel this may be a reaction by the state to the Cole memorandum, which we’ve explored in past columns. (It’s the Obama-era document that allows states to maintain a recreational cannabis program if they follow several basic rules, one being that cannabis can’t leave the state in which it was produced.) Now that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is making noises about cracking down on recreational programs, any actions taken by the state to demonstrate efforts to curb product leaving our borders may take the heat off. Allowing extra to be sold in this manner way be viewed as proactive by some. But at what cost? Decimating the RGs to save the recreational program is not a good plan. Let’s hope the cure doesn’t kill the patient.
